OPERATING RESULTS AND OUTLOOK
Net income for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021 was $115 million (or $0.19 per diluted share) compared to $109 million (or $0.21 per diluted share) in the year earlier period.
NFFO for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021 was $251 million ($0.43 per diluted share) compared to $200 million ($0.38 per diluted share) in the year earlier period.
Based on the completed and funded year-to-date transactions, along with an assumed capital structure resulting in a net debt to EBITDA ratio between 5.0 and 6.0 times, MPT expects an annual run-rate of $1.14 to $1.18 per diluted share for net income and $1.72 to $1.76 per diluted share for NFFO. Included in the annual run-rate estimate, but not included in annualized actual results for the second quarter, are timing adjustments related to investment and capital markets transactions closed during the quarter, the annualized difference between the 8.6% Priory GAAP lease rate and the loan interest rate effective for most of the second quarter, and the aggregate future earnings contribution from two hospitals under development and various expansion projects where rent has not yet commenced. Not included in the annual run-rate estimate is the impact of announced but unclosed transactions as of June 30. While interest income from the £250 million non-real estate acquisition loan related to the Priory transaction was included in second quarter actual results, it is not included in annual run-rate guidance due to its temporary nature.
These estimates do not include the effects, if any, of unexpected real estate operating costs, changes in accounting pronouncements, litigation costs, debt refinancing costs, acquisition costs, currency exchange rate movements, changes in income tax rates, interest rate hedging activities, write-offs of straight-line rent or other non-recurring or unplanned transactions. Moreover, these estimates do not provide for the impact on MPT or its tenants and borrowers from the global COVID-19 pandemic. These estimates may change if the Company acquires or sells assets in amounts that are different from estimates, market interest rates change, debt is refinanced, new shares are issued, additional debt is incurred, other operating expenses vary, income from equity investments vary from expectations, or existing leases or loans do not perform in accordance with their terms.
